Attendance of accused persons at case conferences
9F Attendance of accused persons at case conferences
An accused person may attend part or all of the discussions between the prosecutor and the accused’s legal representative at a case conference in person, by audio visual link or by telephone, if the prosecutor and the accused person’s legal representative consent.
The legal representative of an accused person who so attends part or all of a case conference must, if appropriate to assist the accused person, ensure that a support person or an interpreter attends the case conference.
A failure by a person to comply with this clause does not affect the validity of anything done or omitted to be done in or for the purposes of the committal proceedings.
